Coda is a modification of Unreal Tournament 3 which focuses on thoughtful, unforgiving, competitive, fast paced and stylish gameplay. It will provide several interesting systems which players will have to use in harmony in order to defeat their opponents. Initially the mod will focus around an original sword fighting system based on mouse movements. Next magic and psionic energy systems will be implemented, and tightly integrated into the sword fighting gameplay. Coda will feature a player control system which borrows mechanics from fighting games such as Guilty Gear. Several maps and completely original characters are planned. Stay tuned for frequent updates, this mod is currently under rapid development.

We've been working on a few things at once here at CodaMod, which we'll be rolling out over the next week or so. Beyond a new version of the mod, which was submitted to phase 4 of MSUC, we have the first chapter of a comic based on the Coda universe as well as a set of tutorial videos.

Check out the first chapter of the Coda comic now!
Keep a look out for the tutorial videos which will be out soon.

Call me a total noob, but I never even knew characters had magical abilities until like my 30th round.
Even then I never fully understood what most of them actually did.
I also never even got the combat system. I ended up aimlessly and randomly attacking.
Despite that, I played for many long hours and really enjoyed this.
Lastly, I didn't realize this had a storyline! Or is this comic just art to support the mod?
